I have had some good luck this month.
This came today. Just polished it up and it cost as much as a favorite six pack and included shipping.

The new love in my morning. So sweet.
I think it's a 1950 but I'm not quite sure.
Happy fall gentlemen.

Thanks. Yea it's pretty nice to have a place locally. He uses the same stuff for his straight razor shaves so he has open examples of almost every soap, beard oil, and aftershave he has (mostly WSP)and will let you take a whiff before purchasing. He also has some brushes, new DE and straight razor, and a few vintage razors, mugs, and brushes.
Kind of like the one below it with the brown handle. It has a face that can be removed for cleaning, however unlike the modern Feather AC razors where you just press and push forward, the top pinch, this Feathers had this convoluted system where you needed a Jeweler's screwdriver to insert in the hole in the front of the razor and unscrew this tiny screw which released the top slide lock and the side face. I then found out quite by accident (and it was good that I was scrubbing it in the container of Dawn liquid instead of over the sink) that there was two separate pieces - a spring and lock bar that was not attached to anything and just left sitting in a slot. Got everything taken apart, cleaned, and put back together okay. This weekend I will take apart the handle that seem to be McGyvered in place and see if maybe I can put new scales on it. The one with the brown handle holds a Schick injector blade. You need to loosen the two small screws on the top part of the blade and then insert or take out the injector blade. If you remove the blade plate completely, you run the risk of losing this thin clear piece of plastic which is the only thing that prevents the blade from getting seated too high up the blade. This was definitely a learning experience, but I got three working shavette, one needing a new scale, and two that can be used for parts.
